What's in a Name 5 Sign-up

Nov 14, 2011 13:29

Today I saw that Beth Fish Reads had finally posted the sign-up page for her annual What's in a Name Challenge!




I'm very excited about this challenge, because it allows participants to get creative with book titles, rather than focusing on authors or genres. The challenge requires participants to read one book in each of the following categories in 2012:
  1. A book with a topographical feature in the title -- e.g. Black Hills, Purgatory Ridge, Emily of Deep Valley
  2. A book with something you'd see in the sky in the title -- e.g. Moon Called, Seeing Stars, Cloud Atlas
  3. A book with a creepy crawly in the title -- e.g. Little Bee, Spider Bones, The Witches of Worm
  4. A book with a type of house in the title -- e.g. The Glass Castle, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Ape House
  5. A book with something you'd carry in your pocket, purse, or backpack in the title -- e.g. Sarah's Key, The Scarlet Letter, The Devlin Diary
  6. A book with something you'd find on a calendar in the title -- e.g. Day of the Jackal, Elegy for April, Freaky Friday, The Year of Magical Thinking
Go to the sign-up page for more details; I'm off to plan what books I'll read for this challenge!
